I believe it's 200 feet tall.

40/9.6 = x/48
Use laws of proportions to solve for x

Some students can plant 9 carrots per square foot in the community garden shown. Write a function that can be used to determine

Lunna [17]

Answer:

144 carrots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C stand for the number of carrots that a student can plant.

We are told that carrots may be planted at a density of 9 carrots/ft^2.

Let A be the area, in ft^2, that can be planted with carrots. The area of a rectangle is Base x Length (in feet).

We can therefore write:

C = (9 carrots/ft^2)*A

In the garden shown, the area is A = (4 ft) x (4 ft) = 16 ft^2

C = 9 carrots/ft^2)*(16 ft^2)

C = 144 carrots

Write the following in slope-intercept form.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=4x-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations will always be in the form $y=mx+b$ , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Since we know nothing about this equation, other than the fact that there are two points in it, we must find the slope and the y-intercept.

Luckily, we have two points to work with. We know that the slope between two points will be the change in y divided by the change in x ( $\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$ ), so we can use the two points given to us to find both changes.

The y value goes from 1 to 17, which is a $17-1=16$ change.

The x value goes from 2 to 6, which is a $6-2=4$ change.

Now that we know both changes, we can divide the change in y by the change in x.

$\frac{16}{4}=4$

Now that we know the slope (4), we can plug it into our equation ( $y=mx+b$ ).

$y=4x+b$

Now all we need to do is find the y-intercept. Since we know the slope and one of the points the line passes through, we can find the y-intercept by substituting in the values of x and y. Let's use the point (2, 1).

$1 = 4(2) + b$

$1 = 8+b$

$b = 1-8$

$b = -7$

Therefore our y-intercept is -7. Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can plug it into our equation.

$y=4x-7$

Hope this helped!

(2^8 ⋅ 3^−5 ⋅ 6^0)^−2 ⋅ 3 to the power of negative 2 over 2 to the power of 3, whole to the power of 4 ⋅ 2^28 (5 points) Write y

mihalych1998 [28]

Start by looking at simplifying the smaller problems

anything to the power zero is 1 $6^0 = 1$

next apply the power of a power rule... multiply the powers

$(2^8\times 3^{-5} \times 1 )^{-2} = 2^{8\times -2}\times 3^{-5 \times -2}$

which becomes

$2^{-16}\times 3^{10}$
